- Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home

Questions Owners and Landlords in Allendale, NJ Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
Who removes the animals, and who cleans afterward?
Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group usually cares for the animals. A cleanup team takes care of the home afterward. Ask the agency when the home is clear, then call a team to plan the work.
Can a landlord require animal hoarding cleanup?
Often yes. A lease and local housing rules usually let a landlord require a safe, sanitary unit. A tenant rights group or an attorney can explain what applies. A cleanup team can often work toward a deadline.
Can I clean up after animal hoarding myself?
Only if the area is small, the surface is hard and the air is easy to breathe, and then with gloves, a mask and open windows. Widespread waste, soaked floors, strong odor or pests call for a crew.
What is the ammonia smell in the house?
It comes from animal urine breaking down. Ammonia irritates the eyes, throat and lungs, and it soaks into floors and walls. Opening windows helps only briefly, and the smell returns until the source is removed.
What is animal hoarding cleanup?
